Abstract

The Guns Of Galilee. An Eyewitness Account

Wakefield, Dan | March 17, 1956 issue

add to cart close window

There are nights when the fishermen of Galilee, Israel work in the face of cold rain and high waves. And there are nights when they work in the face of bullets from the Syrian side of the shore. When the small fleet of two-oared boats pushes off every afternoon from Tiberias its sailors never know what the evening will bring-for the weather, the fish and the Syrians are all unpredictable. Last December 11 the Israeli army made its now famous raid on the Syrian post in retaliation for the frequent firing on fishing boats from Israel on the Sea of Galilee. This article presents an eye-witness account of the event.
